About our partners

To offer you more flights to more destinations, KLM is part of the SkyTeam alliance, and has teamed up with many other airlines (‘code share’). This means that you have a ticket with a KL flight number, but one of our partners is executing the flight. With our partners, we continuously work together to make your journey just as enjoyable as when flying with KLM.

In general you can expect:

Check-in and receiving boarding passes for all flights in your journey, and having your baggage labelled through to your final destination.

Your baggage allowance for your whole journey is stated on your ticket. If you’d like to take extra or special baggage, the baggage fees of the airline you will fly with apply. Please check the specific baggage rules that apply for taking hand baggage, extra baggage or special baggage on the airline’s website.

All SkyTeam carriers offer the benefits of SkyPriority: Business Class passengers and SkyTeam Elite Plus members will have priority at the check-in, at the transfer desk, during boarding, baggage delivery and if applicable, at the immigration and security checkpoint.

Flying Blue members can earn and burn Miles with all SkyTeam partners.

On board you will be served drinks, meals and/or snacks, depending on the duration of your flight and the time of day.

When travelling with other airlines however you may encounter differences, such as in check-in options, seat types, meals and other services. Below you will find the most important differences per airline.

Which airline(s) you will be flying with, is shown when you book on KLM.com; in the e-mail of your booking confirmation and via My Trip.
